punkman: mircea_popescu: no wai, I just did one
the other day for $15
mircea_popescu: they do however have a 27 day grace period on
top of
the 5 day grace period etc.
mircea_popescu: in other unrelated news, namecheap wants 200 bucks
to renew your expired domain
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this is a psa/reminder
that in point of fact
there is ZERO security wrt email. i, or you, or anyone bored one evening can hijack a mx record, read all
teh inbound mail etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that's kinda what was wtfing me, what, i don't paste enough of inbound spam in here or wtf is
their problem.
punkman: they should have
thrown some kind of error
though, instead of silently accepting all
teh emails
mircea_popescu: no fucking wonder's been going on for yearsnobody wrote about it.
they'd have
to write "umm....lolz"
mircea_popescu: "After reviewing your chat
transcripts, it appears in
the first chat
that
the Junior Administrator stated specifically what
the issue was, which is
that
the domain is expired as of 8/7/2011.
There was also clarification provided
that you'd need
to contact
the registrar directly for
the renewal and
to update
the DNS back
to our name-servers."
punkman: right, and nobody has written a blog post about
this so far, has been happening for years
mircea_popescu: For security reason, we cannot have an internal link available
to
the Public. Please bookmark
this link
https://ctmail.ct.gov so you can access
the site directly.
punkman: bunch of other people had
their MX directed
to p.nsm.ctmail.com if you google it
punkman: I get p.nsm.ctmail.com
too
mircea_popescu: so upon examination it
turns out
that polimedia mx dns record has been poisoned somehow, or what
the fuck.
assbot: Logged on 06-10-2015 02:49:33; asciilifeform: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu you've got mailz!
mircea_popescu has skipped atantic, wired, vice links. will continue
to do so.
mircea_popescu: not everything
that isn't specced but could be specced should be.
that's how idiocy gets in.

trinque: perhaps
this calls for a separate address per
type of
thing
assbot: Logged on 06-10-2015 03:02:26; asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu's sometimes-powerful medicine of putting on a blindfold and pretending
that nothing happens outside of his wot - will not work here.
mircea_popescu: but yes,
the russian did it poorly. should have been America
Today.

assbot: Logged on 30-09-2015 09:29:18; mircea_popescu: i don't want anything specific. but i will be keeping
track of a large ammount of
tiny indicators, because anything else results in exam-taking-training.
assbot: Logged on 06-10-2015 01:12:45; asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu wrote something re: how he wants wot as a very fluid and informal animal
that can't be 'optimized against'
gabriel_laddel: Wow, brilliant guys. Really,
truly, innovative. Von N.,
Turing, Engelbart, McCarthy etc would be proud.
gabriel_laddel: "Grigori Perelman's
theorem:
There is no offer you can't refuse."
BingoBoingo: They each
throw a bit of money into a pot,
then winner/platform
takes all
trinque: you know, you could probably make a pretty cool DHT system where
the indexes of interesting keys are
the
txns sent from particular addresses
trinque: something
to
think about. in other news, my journey is complete
trinque: perhaps
this calls for a separate address per
type of
thing
☟︎☟︎ trinque: ben_vulpes | worst case scenario, unless
the standard is verifiability, #bitcoin-jesters could cause all sortsa problems
trying
to federate
their wot into
this one. << I have pondered making deedbot- eat rss feeds *of deeds*; sounds applicable here
BingoBoingo: Johnny Depp is already a parody of himself. Give it
two years and he'll do
the Nicholas Cage
thing where he fights for parts in straight
to home video flicks just
to pay
the bills.
gabriel_laddel: sure, it is only a
temporary solution, but we've no other option
assbot: Logged on 06-10-2015 00:17:23; mircea_popescu: You were
the only
toxic
thing in
that entire story. Hopefully your failure informs other women, at a young age when
they confront
the choice of whether
to be sarah-sharp-toxic or productive members of society, and
they choose
to not be sarah-sharp-toxic.
assbot: Logged on 05-10-2015 23:46:29; ben_vulpes: imho (and i'm always wrong, it's cool bru) it should be possible
to reconstruct
the current state of
the wot from a log of !rate's and !v's
assbot: Logged on 05-10-2015 23:27:06; pete_dushenski: and speaking of wowz and suches and muches and scamcoins, i just checked
the chart for dogecoin and it's really surprisingly stable. also noted
that $50-100k of
the crap
trades hands on a daily basis.
then again, could be some dogederps
trading with himself all day.

two hard problems in distributed systems: 2. Exactly-once delivery 1. Guaranteed order of messages 2. Exactly-once delivery -- Mathias Verraes"
mircea_popescu: mostly because you work in sweatshop C rather
than sweatshop A.
BingoBoingo: These people weren't exactly of
the "scaled" class
